Nemo Has Come and Gone

It began snowing here at approximately 7 a.m. Friday, Feb. 8th and stopped today, Saturday, at around 12:50 p.m. It was light at first, but during the evening and overnight hours it was snowing 1-2 inches per hour. The storm stretched from New Jersey to Maine and went inland as far as Vermont and New York State. Connecticut received the brunt of the snow...and along the coastal areas it turned into a blizzard because of high sustained winds.
We have about 20 inches by us...fluffy, bluish white snow, etched by the bruising winds.
I read an article in Think Progress, which suggests that climate change could have made the right conditions for such a rare heavy snowfall to occur.

Jan and Early Feb.

We have had a little more snow than last year, but not much more...some extremely cold days in January followed by an unseasonably warm day then back to normal seasonal temps. In other words...lots of fluctuations!  The warm day was followed by wild windy weather. One large dead tree fell across the pond after refroze as the cold front came through. To our South it spawned tornadoes.
Now it's February and we are looking at two back-to-back snow storms...one a Nor-easter.

I walked up the back and saw prints of turkey, deer and possible a small bear?
